Sometimes I wonder if I am an extra in a sitcom.

I was heading out to check on the mail. And I noticed a woman "walking" her dog. She was getting fed up and talking to the dog.

"I just need to go over this way for a second. Then we will come right back."

But the dog wasn't moving. He just stood there staring at her. She turned and dropped the leash, heading off for a bit. It was one of those retractable leashes, so it began sliding toward the dog and making a loud noise across the sidewalk. The dog didn't budge.

I get to the mail, check some things, and began heading back. As I did, the woman was returning to her dog.

She then called out, "Was it worth it?!" And the dog started wagging his tail.
